After spending hours writing, I finished up, published, and then read Tom Luongo’s Indicting Trump is the End of US Politics He pretty much hits the nail on the head. For the last few days, while referring readers to people like Jonathan Turley or Alan Dershowitz for legal analysis, I’ve been repeating that the legal issues simply don’t interest me, because—in the first, last, and middle analysis—this simply isn’t about Trump. But TL says it a bit more elegantly than that. Here’s the core of what he does say:
"The one pervading evil of democracy is the tyranny of the majority, or rather of that party, not always the majority, that succeeds, by force or fraud, in carrying elections." ~ Lord Acton
These “elites” are totally ignorant of history (and much else) - the Russian Revolution was 2 stages - Kerensky led the initial October 1917 revolt, only to have it snatched by Lenin. If the Davis crowd is Kerensky, then who is Lenin in their plan?
Luongos piece is excellent - among his standout thoughts: " So, today this indictment of Trump is at once, Phildickian, Kafkaesque, Clausewitzian and Hitlerian.
Phildickian because it feels like we live in some alternate America.
Kafkaesque because Trump is being indicted for a crime we can barely define.
Hitlerian because its clearly tyrannical to shut down political opponents
And Clausewitzian because the indictment isn’t about politics but a much broader war."

That's what Jacobins and Bolsheviks do: destroy. The only consolation is that most revolutions eat their own children.

What kind of personal security does Jerome Powell enjoy? Hopefully it is the best money can buy.
